ABSTRACT: Determination of fluoride concentration of 15 groundwater samples from different sites in and around villages near Bhopal city was carried out by using selective fluoride ion-electrode. The out-come of the results were discussed in the light of pollution status fluorosis in school going children (infants) because they used different sources of drinking water of different sites and they are being exposed to used drinking water from several points and types. In the present study fluoride has varied from 0.12-0.99, 0.10-2.1 and 0.14-2.5 mg/L in groundwater of Bhopal and nearby villages of Gandhi Nagar area of Bhopal some cases of fluorosis are also noted in certain areas of Bhopal region.

KEYWORDS: Determination; Fluoride Ion concentration; ground water; exposed; fluorosis
